American Athletic Conference's Danielle Donehew tapped to run WBCA

Danielle Donehew, the associate commissioner for the American Athletic Conference, has been named the executive director of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.

Donehew replaces Beth Bass,who retired in April. Donehew will officially take over on Aug. 1.

It's hard to argue with this choice as Donehew's resume is as impressive as any possible candidate for the job and Donehew has been a first-class person to deal with during her time in the Big East and now the AAC.

While nobody asked for my opinion on the matter, if I were involved in the process of hiring Donehew's replacement in the AAC my first call would go to Deb Corum at UConn.
